Man, I'm sorry to hear about your continued struggles with Canon! I thought they were doing there best to keep you as a happy customer. I was terribly wrong, apparently! I may be interested in the 500 and/or 200 when the time comes. I probably can't justify a new lens right now but we'll see. The d500 should be a blast for you! I'm looking forward to the results.

Hi Kris, I'm trying to decide between the 7Dmk2 and 1Dmk4 and I'm having a heck of a time. I shoot mostly birds and wildlife now with a 7D. I posted a thread in the canon page and someone said you've got both. Which do you prefer and how different is the autofocus on the 1D4 compared to the 7D2?
Thanks for any advice you could give me.

Hey, did you have to do any focus adjustments when using your tammy at all? I've never worried about doing any microadjustments with my other lenses because I was always shooting landscapes, usually at like 16mm, and at f16. I'm wondering if my tamron is back focusing a touch or if I just need to practice my wildlife stuff more.

I fine tune all of my lenses because at 600 mm even at F8 the DOF can be very very small. The Tamron on my D7100 is at +3 and on my D800 it is -9. Fine tune and then shoot with it for a day and carefully examine where the DOF is. Long lenses are very difficult to fine tune at distance in my humble opinion...
